Alumnus Brett Gauger Judged a National Social Media Competition

Brett Gauger (’15) was a judge for the Social Media Competition hosted by Ball State University’s Marketing Department. The competition drew over 60 students from universities in Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Participants were given the business plan of a local Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and then were asked to help build it’s social media plan. Gauger and his co-workers at Cyclone Social judged the final round “flash cases,” where participants had only 20 minutes to create a social media strategic plan for a crisis.
